Abstract
Abstract Chapter 9 describes how radical groups and organizations use ideologies to recruit and mobilize individuals. Here we look at the specific recruitment and mobilization strategies and techniques of traditional mafia organizations, followed by right-wing, left-wing, and religious extremist groups and organizations. Social media and the internet play a major role here, not only as an instrument for communication and propaganda, but also as a viable source for recruitment and mobilization. This allows us to understand the different forms of ideologization—the political and religious belief systems that are not only used for strategic or political reasons, but that also operate on a psychological and social level. This implies that individuals may join ideological groups without feeling an intrinsic commitment to the beliefs and ideas involved.
